Raised under the crushing expectations of her powerful, image-obsessed parents, her life has always been planned for her.

Until she meets him.

He says his name is Lucas. No last name. No flashy suits. No visible empire.

Just quiet confidence… and a way of looking at her like she isn’t a possession.

What Ava doesn’t know is that Lucas isn’t just hiding secrets.

He’s one of the most powerful billionaires in the country—and he’s been watching her world from the inside.

As sparks turn into something deeper, Lucas must decide when to reveal the truth.

Because loving Ava means more than winning her heart.

It means setting her free.
